L'Oréal Paris Color Riche Pure Reds

Hey guys!

I hope you
all are doing well. I am back with a brand new post for you guys. I love red
lipsticks even though red is not my favorite color. I have 7 red lipsticks and
all of them are of different shades. The one I like most is Cinnamon spice by Wet
‘n’ Wild. I’m not really a fan of blue-toned reds but I do have a few of those
as well. Well, I got extremely excited when I heard about L’Oréal pure reds
star collection. I wasted no time and visited Naheed to grab one for myself,
but unfortunately the only thing that ticked me off was the price. L’Oréal’s
newly launched star collection is pretty expensive, one lipstick is of PKR
1800. A few days later, I visited Scentsation, because I had to purchase a new
foundation. And guess what?! I saw these lipsticks there and then I couldn’t
stop myself from adding one into my shopping basket. There are 5 shades
available in Pakistan; Freida, Jlo, Eva, Liya and Blake. There’s a shade of red
for each and every girl/woman out there, so you can easily pick one for yourself.
After testing and trying all of the shades, I finally came to the conclusion
that I should go for Eva. Also, I’ve read this amazing fact on multiple blogs
that L’Oréal has launched different shades in different countries, so I’d love
to try the ones they have in France.

Packaging:

The lipstick
tube is made up of black textured plastic with a bit of golden here and there.
The only thing that caught my eye is the signature of L’Oréal’s brand
ambassador. Yes, I now have Eva’s autograph on my lipstick. How cool is that? I
simply loved the packaging. It looks classy and decent to me. Also, they gave
me a small case which is made up of leather (I guess) along with the lipstick.
It seems like L’Oréal has invested a huge chunk of change on the packaging.

Shade description:

I am a big fan of true red lippies, but Eva’s red has a touch
of orange under tones. You might like it if you fancy wearing different reds. I
truly believe that red shade is for everyone, so you need to swatch all the
shades in order to find yours. I’ve tried all types of reds and this shade is
what I was looking for since ages. All in all, I’m in love with Eva’s red.

Texture/Pigmentation:

I’m being
extremely honest at the moment, these lipsticks are matte and will dry out your
lips after a couple of hours. Also, I must say that all of these lipsticks are highly
pigmented which is definitely a plus point. One swipe is more than enough so
don’t waste your product by applying 2 – 3 layers.

Lasting power:

It stays for approximately 4 – 5 hours which is definitely nice.

Final
verdict:

I’d recommend
you all to give it a go. I know it’s pretty expensive, and I am well aware of
the fact that it shouldn’t be, since L’Oréal is a drug store brand. All in all,
I am a big fan of L’Oréal pure reds star collection, and will be trying a
couple of more shades as well.
